    Sarah Palin knows jack shit about online social networking because Sarah Palin knows jack shit about anything. She is used to ignorant people respecting her because she has managed to approximate the appearance of expertise and intelligence just enough to trick uninformed paranoiacs from small towns. Last year she was all about energy policy. Earlier this year, she did the whole health insurance thing.

    Like with all good attention whores, if you want to know what she'll do next, just follow the media buzzwords and you'll find her. Right now, 'online presence' and 'social networking' are big. Next year, if Gawker gets big enough for marketers in podunk towns to talk up to their clients, Palin will sign up to become a commenter. #sarahpalin

    Sometimes I trick myself into thinking for a moment that she's an Andy Kaufman-style performance artist, then I sober up and realize she's real, and worse than that, she has a posse of lipsticked pitbulls behind her. #sarahpalin

    That profile doesn't exist. Are you sure that is was official? If there is already one fake profile, why couldn't there be two. Even if it was, who really gives a fuck.

    It's one thing to report on balloon boy, which involved a real balloon flying over Colorado. It's another to report on stupid internet bullshit. #sarahpalin

    Yes, yes, it's true and none of it is new. I'm working on a post about how the increase in spam on Twitter is because of the influx of stupids, who are attracted to whatever Oprah tells them to be attracted to, because they were too stupid to figure it out for themselves earlier.

    I think Facebook still is heavily integrated with the college experience. So it would make sense that it tends to be a more upper class network.

    Myspace seems more highschool focused and offers more flash, appealing to lower income and nouveau rich. I find most myspace profiles to be barely readable due to all the animated junk and color schemes.

    Though I suppose you could look at the history of the companies too.

    Facebook came out of Harvard. Myspace has a spammer and pornography background.

    I'd delete my MySpace profile, except I long ago forgot my username/password combination, and I think I even let my sign-up email account expire. It will float out there forever, I suppose.

    @uncivilly obedient:
    Email accounts used to "expire" when you change ISPs, but that doesn't seem to apply so much anymore because a lot of ISPs no longer give mail.

    But, I've lost several profiles over the years because I'd move, change ISPs and then not have access, when I needed a particular forum. Oh, and in the olden days, some sites wouldn't let you register with a webmail addy because ISP-based email was considered steady.

    @Adah:
    Somewhere fairly recently, it seems like I've read that you can just reapply for hotmail which was deleted for non-activity, then send have the password sent to your "new" (which looks just like your old) account.

    Of course they may have plugged that hole because I believe I read it in connection with a "hacking" incident and well, you'd need to want access to your MySpace, but if so motivated, it could be one solution.

    In my parents' house oversleeping meant a cold shower, because the water heater wasn't designed for five kids in high school and junior high at the same time.

    ..But are the parents savvy enough to text/Facebook their kids in the proper argot? I’m pretty convinced that by this point the entire Z Generation has lapsed into Middle English. Unless you text them something like, "Waiq upp, Peenutt, Mug off hawt Milkk w8tin 4 u in ze Kitchun," they won't even know WTF you’re talking about.
